The Transformative Power Of Mirrors
Mirrors are not only useful for beard shaving and makeup application; they’re also a beautiful addition to any room, big or small. Mirrors transform a room, helping make it look larger and brighter. Whether you’re going for a vintage look or a modern feel there is a mirror that will accent your style.
Not only do mirrors add character to a space, they also take away the stress of filling up yet another wall with framed art, shelving or clocks. If you’re agonizing over what to fill an empty wall up with, consider adding a large mirror.
We all know that mirrors can make a room look larger. But what we sometimes don’t think of is how much a mirror brightens up a room. Mirrors not only reflect images, but light as well. Place mirrors directly across from windows for reflecting the natural light coming in. If you have a darker than desired hallway, line it with a collage of mirrors for a brighter lit walkway.
We recommend decorating with one large mirror or a collection of several mirrors. With collections, don’t try matching. Hang differently shaped mirrors in a collective pattern; not too uniform, but not completely disheveled.
The frame around your mirror will make it modern, classic or traditional. The one pictured above has a traditional/farmhouse look and feel. Modern frames are clean and simple while elegant frames are intricate and detailed.
Hardware stores like The Home Depot sell pre-cut pieces of mirrored glass that you can have custom framed yourself if you are unable to find a framed mirror that you like. To customize framed mirrors you can also paint the frames different colors and for a vintage look, run sandpaper across the frame once the paint is dry.
